Cross-browser solution for displaying MJPEG stream

Question

Is there a lightweight, free, and reliable way to display MJPEG in a cross-browser environment? I\'m trying to display an MJPEG stream from an Axis 2120 IP camera on a site

Answer 1

Here is a Java applet based solution that you can use for any browser (or just the ones that don't support MJPEG): http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/

As far as other bugs go with MJPEG, I have found that you should set the 'src' attribute of the 'img' tag to something besides the MJPEG before you try to remove 'img' tag. Example:

If you don't do that, Firefox will continue to download MJPEG stream even though it shouldn't.
